Chapter 548: A Million Dirty Silver
The soldiers and horses of the Shenshu battalion marched mightily on the road back to Beijing, Song Nan rode a big black horse and walked in the middle of the team, the sun was shining in the sky, and the air seemed to be filled with a breath of spring in February. But in fact, the winter snow in the mountains and fields is still eye-catching, but it is only half-dissolved and half-melted to reveal the black land below, which looks mottled, and there is a faint yellow color when you look closely, which is that the grass roots are beginning to sprout.
Song Nan half-squinted and enjoyed this rare leisure time, his mind was full of the lingering on the west tower that night, the skin of the county lord of Ping'an was as smooth as brocade, and he had never understood the customs like a girl who had never been in the world, which made Song Nan deeply infatuated.
Song Nan actually didn't think it was strange that the county lord of Ping'an didn't dedicate himself to his own affairs after all, if the county lord of Ping'an was the kind of woman who could go to bed with her fingers hooked, Song Nan would not have such regret and respect at this moment.
The people around Song Nan knew that there was no clarity between Song Nan and the county lord of Ping'an, and most of them didn't think so.
Jiang Bin and Xu Tai basically have the same opinion, and at this juncture, it is clear that the Qingwangfu will be implicated in Zhu Ningyao's rebellion, and the Lord Song and the county lord of the Qingwangfu are not innocent, which is really unwise. Besides, this is the county lord of Qingwangfu, if it is an ordinary woman, it is just a matter of playing, but does Lord Song, the county lord of Qingwangfu, throw it away if he wants to play? I'm afraid it's not that easy.
As if the parties had nothing to do, the people around them were in a hurry, in fact, Song Nan and the county lord of Ping'an knew better than anyone else that it would be difficult for the two to not get together, because of the constraints of many factors; After that night, in fact, both of them regretted being too reasonable, if they couldn't get together, why couldn't they wander all night and leave precious memories? .
As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. Once a spring breeze and half a lifetime recalled, it was also a beautiful thing, but afterwards both of them were afraid of abruptness, and they didn't want to continue this good story.
"My lord, the king and they are back." The shouts of the guards Zhao Baihu planned Song Nan's thoughts, Song Nan raised his eyes and saw that the rear was dusty, and more than 100 horses were rolling over, and it was Wang Yong who caught up.
Song Nan waited on his horse, Wang Yongjing galloped to Song Nan's side, and bowed: "My lord, I have come back from my humble position." ”
Song Nan said in a low voice: "How's it going?" ”
Wang Yong squeezed his eyes and said: "Sure enough, as the adults expected, the fat and flowing oil are all in the cart, do you want to take a look?" ”
Song Nan said: "Okay, I'll take a look." ”
The two turned their horses and came to the rear of the team, and Jiang Bin, who was in retreat, was leading people to point around several prisoner cars, and on several prisoner cars, dozens of men and women were dressed luxuriously but shrunk on the cars with white faces, and Jiang Bin and others next to the prisoner cars stared at the seven or eight beautiful women in the cars and swallowed and foamed.
"This is the family of Zhu Ningyao, the rebel king in the palace of Anhua County, Qingyang, plus the dozen or so people captured in the Qingwang Mansion, all of them are here." Wang Yongdao.
Song Nan looked at the panicked group of people in the prison car, and sighed secretly, these people may be innocent, but because Zhu Ningxiao is involved, I am afraid that they will be punished one by one, one person is convicted, and the whole family will be harmed, this is the reality.
"Treat them well, don't harass them, and if anyone dares to mess around, military law will do it." Song Nan commanded.
Wang Yong nodded in agreement, and took Song Nan to the front of a black caravan in the rear, which was tightly covered with black cloth around the car, and was guarded by several loyal guards of the pro-guard battalion, and anyone who approached a few steps was scolded and kept away.
"It's all here, and there are some other things on the cart in front, a piece of valuable porcelain, calligraphy and painting furniture, etc., the local government has sealed it, and the list of items is here." Wang Yong spoke in a low voice, took out a booklet from his arms, and handed it to Song Nan.
Song Nan took it and looked through it, listing hundreds of assets such as acres of real estate, furniture, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, which were confiscated from the palace of Anhua County, Qingyang, but Song Nan knew that the things in the big car in front of him were not on this booklet.
Song Nan slowly took the booklet into his arms, reached out and lifted the corner of the black tarpaulin of the carriage, seven or eight large wooden boxes were stacked on top of each other in the dim carriage, Song Nan reached out and knocked on it, making a dull and solid sound, the boxes were full.
"The old thief has piled up a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room of the county king's mansion, these boxes are full of real gold and silver, and the humble and rough estimate is at least 100,000 taels." Wang Yong said in a low voice.
Song Nan nodded and thought about it: "Carry a box and put it on the carriage in front, and count this box when you hand over your belongings after returning to Beijing." Copying the county king's mansion, there is no gold, silver and jewelry on the list, which will make people suspicious, and you have to personally bring someone back to Beijing in advance to send it to the Jinyiwei treasury to be sealed, these gold and silver I have a lot of use. ”
Wang Yong agreed, and Song Nan thought for a while and said, "Please invite Jiang Bin and Xu Taihou Dabiao to come, they should know about this matter." ”
Facing the cart full of gold, silver and jewelry, Jiang Bin Xu Tai and Hou Dabiao opened their mouths wide, and Jiang Bin said suddenly: "This old thief is really rich, he actually has so much gold and silver, does all this money have to be handed over to the imperial court?" ”
Song Nan smiled and said: "Call a few people here to discuss this matter, I plan to keep this money, what do you think?" ”
"What do you mean, do we divide the money? Oh my mother, isn't this a post? Hou Dabiao scratched his head and said.
Jiang Bin opened his eyes and smiled: "This is a good idea, Lord Song will take half of it, and a few of us will share the other half, and everyone will become a rich man." ”
Xu Tai kept swallowing and foaming while holding his short beard under his chin, obviously very tempted, but he didn't want to say it.
Song Nan smiled and said: "Money is really a good thing, a few brothers can't hold it when they see gold and silver; I did intend to keep the money, but it wasn't for us to divide it privately; Money has to be spent wisely, and it's more beneficial to us. I have a big plan, after returning to Beijing, this money will come in handy, in short, it is a hundred times stronger than everyone going back to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and this money will help you rise to the top. ”
Xu Tai was very brainy, and shouted softly: "Your Excellency is planning to use these gold and silver to transform the weapons of the Divine Pivot Battalion, right?" ”
Song Nan nodded and said, "That's right, the equipment used to transform the Shenshu Battalion and the Jinyi Guard is the best choice; Think about it, if the Shenshu camp is equipped with hundreds of double-barreled firearms, or more powerful firearms, such as you are equipped with more than 100 guns at the mouth of the West Cliff, then who in the Beijing camp is still the enemy? If the soldiers of the Shenshu Battalion can wear stainless steel armor, what will be the effect of fighting? ”
Everyone was excited, the power of the fire gun equipped by Jinyiwei exploded, they had all seen it, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai wanted a few to play, but because the cost of this thing was too expensive, there was no money for equipment. They also knew that the more than 100 firecrackers were all made by Song Nan with his own money, and they spent forty or fifty thousand taels of silver before and after, and the use of the Song Mansion was also stretched, so although they drooled greedily, they couldn't mention it to Song Nan.
"Hundreds of firearms, hundreds of generals!" Jiang Bin and Xu Tai's eyes were about to erupt with little stars, if they could have these things in their hands, wouldn't the Shenshu Camp be the first in the Beijing camp? The two of them are not willing to only nest in the Shenshu camp, and if they want to climb up, they must have capital, and the money is spent on it, but it is much more meaningful than taking them home.
"That's going to cost hundreds of thousands of taels or even ......," Hou Dabiao handed the two of them a scoop of cold water.
"yes, how can this little bit of silver be enough?" Jiang Bin and Xu Tai asked.
"Of course it's not enough, 100,000 taels of silver, even if it is all caused by firecrackers, it is only a few hundred strokes, and then the ammunition consumption is very huge, and there is no ammunition, can you use firecrackers to smash others?" Song Nan said.
Jiang Bin and Xu Tai were deflated, Jiang Bin said: "It would be good if a few more princes rebelled, let's copy a few more princes' homes, these guys are all fat and oily, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people's lives have not improved, and the princes are all rich and rival the country." ”
Song Nanwan reprimanded: "What nonsense is it saying, some people rebelled, and the people were miserable, do you want it to be like this?" Money is actually very profitable, and now we have a principal of 100,000 taels, as long as we use this money to make money, I will let this 100,000 taels of silver snowball into 200,300,000 or even millions, and then it will be inexhaustible. ”
"Are you going to do business with this money? That's a good idea, but what kind of business can make that much money? Xu Taidao.
"By the way, open a brothel, a million profits, make money every day, let's spend 100,000 taels to open a big garden in the capital, and we will definitely make a lot of money." Jiang Bin's eyes lit up and offered a plan.
Everyone scolded repeatedly, Song Houye led a group of Beijing generals to open a brothel to make money, and he was impeached by hundreds of civil and military officials in minutes.
"That'...... Usury? Jiang Bin offered another strategy, but was scorned by everyone again.
"Bah, how can you do something like that without an asshole?"
"Why don't you open a casino?"
"......" Everyone was speechless, this Jiang Bin knew these crooked ways, and none of the ideas could be put on the table.
Song Nan waved his hand and said: "Don't guess, I have my own plans in my heart, this money will be stored in the treasury of the Jinyi Guard Yamen first, and there will be important things to do after returning to Beijing, and then I will use this money; Whether it succeeds or fails depends on the development of the situation after returning to Beijing. But there is one thing, if anyone leaks out of this money, it will hurt everyone, your mouth should be tighter, if you don't have confidence in your mouth, simply carry a plaster with you, and you have nothing to use plaster to stick to your mouth. ”
Song Nan said it was funny, but everyone understood that Song Nan was the most severe warning, embezzling a huge amount of money was a big crime, and once the news was leaked, it would be a big trouble.
That night, when the team was camping and resting, Wang Yong and 30 guards quietly escorted the black caravan on the road and rushed to the capital in advance.
